Abstract
A programmable logic controller (PLC) configuration is a problem uniquely suited for solution by a knowledge-based system. A series of configuration expert systems-one for each different PLC system-has been developed. The sales engineer simply chooses the appropriate system by using personal computers. An example of the latest generation of PLCs is the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 PLC. Turbo PROLOG was chosen as the development environment for the configuration experts. Turbo PROLOG is well-endowed with windowing predicates, and provides excellent dynamic menu opportunities. The series 90-70 PLC configuration expert is described. The configuration problem can be separated into two distinct parts: selection and arrangement. Selection is the task of choosing the correct components; arrangement is placing them in the correct formation. Structuring the knowledge base and testing of the series 90-70 PLC configuration expert are discussed.ETX
